British Council Vietnam partnered with MOET to deliver the "Primary Innovations" programme. It is a programme designed in collaboration with UK ELT consultant, Jayne Moon, and implemented by the British Council and the Ministry of Education.
It aims to increase the number of Vietnam English language trainers with a good foundation in primary teaching who can effectively deliver teacher training workshops.
About this project
To provide an opportunity for capacity building and changing approaches to teacher training, the British Council worked with trainers in local training universities and primary English teachers from selected primary schools to support them to improve their skills in training teachers.
The program consists of 240 hours, divided into four phases. There are two separate weeks in each stage. At the end of each phase, after the input sessions, the trainers will deliver two day teacher training workshops for local primary teachers.
